Lifting and sorting. Packing and cleaning. Meeting and organising. Lifting up and
empowering. Laughing and crying. Caring and sharing.
When we think of our volunteer mentors who give up their time, hold space with
kindness, encourage, forgive, and empower, sharing their hearts and wisdom with
our vulnerable rangatahi, we are deeply humbled. THANK YOU!
When we think of our regular group of project volunteers, our hearts literally swell
with aroha and gratitude. Together they’ve made a difference to thousands of
tamariki every year. And they’ve made a difference to each other – to us – to our
community. THANK YOU!
When we think of our amazingly talented friends knitting, sewing, crocheting,
creating, we are simply gobsmacked at the aroha, hours and talent that they
generously share. Over 25,000 hours annually! THANK YOU!
When we think of the teams that fundraise, advocate and cheer us on, the hundreds
that connect for our projects, the ones who rally the troops, our hearts sing, and we
feel the collective joy and purpose that lifts this community. THANK YOU!
When we have strategy hui, Board meetings and random, stressy phone calls with
Trustees, friends and advisors, web designers, accountants, lawyers, kaumatua and kuia, we are humbled and grateful for their kindness, generosity and care. THANK
YOU!
There is no way we can adequately say it.
But….
THANK YOU
It’s Volunteering Month but we love and appreciate you every day.
